The most recent vet visit (today) with 4th vet now confirmed there is a mass (huge) on the spleen. It must be removed immediately. This has become an even greater priority than her nasty teeth, as if it ruptures she would quickly bleed to death.
Dr. Rovner of Roscoe Village animal hospital will do the surgery to remove the spleen, send a sample of the splenic mass to a lab to see if it is cancerous and if it goes well enough, do her teeth. If ot doesn't go well, the teeth will be done later. If they find that the mass has already ruptured, or if is cancer & has obviously masticized when she's opened up, she may not make it through the surgery. (I won't let her suffer.)
If not cancer and not ruptured, she'll get her dental work done and be done with surgery. Then she'll just be treated for her leg arthritis and dysplasia, as well as infection in the mouth until gone.
